Slow saturday, weather is very nice, but I feel too tired,
so I have been inside most of the day, what a waste.

Read a python tuturial. Nice language, but perhaps I'm to
much old sysadm to think of using python instead of perl for
my daily tasks.
The root of the languages (perl from linguistics and python
from CS)
shines through. In my world of quick-hacks, ease of
expression is more important than syntactical purity.

One of my car was destroyed in an traffic incident,
not my fault, no injuries on any person. The insurance
company of the other driver bought my car since it was
cheaper for them then the repairs would have been.

Have to hunt for a new car, since I don't want to drive
my old Nissan pickup all the time.

Life

Slowly getting back to normal after being on the
road for 17 weeks. Many things to sort out, still.

Have been working a week at homebase and a week in
Göteborg. During the break I came to realise being
irritated
at the work situation only hurts the relations I hold
dearest
more than the actual "being away". Relating to a whining
jerk
during weekends is nothing to look forward to, so I am
trying
to change my ways.

Have also started fullfilling my new-years-resolutions:

start brushing up my spanish

start smoking (a little)

a bit strange if you don't know it is preparations for a
trip to Cuba I will make sometime (hopefully) during this
year.

a security related article on securityportal today.
A little bit on the whiny side IMHO, sure small things
could be better but RedHat is worse.
You should always go through inetd.conf and what
standalone-servers is running and switch everything you do
not need of before putting any can out on the internet.
I do not understand how xntpd is safer than the time service
in inetd either.

Just got a call, looks like I will get some pressure to
leave my quiet life in sysadm. It could be time to fire
up c-mode in emacs again and start hacking in telecom and
wireless. We'll see tomorrow.
